I was searching around for exhausts available the 450r, and noticed that Akrapovic and Leo Vince offered exhaust systems for the 450r. I know they are great for bikes, but have never seen them on a quad and wanted to know if there was a reason, because it would be cool to have something unique.

Has anyone tried these?

How is the quality/fit/finish/durability?

How does the performance compare to the leading brands?

I have had many friends with the leo vince on there 450rs and i ran one on my yfz. they are a great pipe. fit well. my only complaint was the springs on the head pipe flange. kind of a pain to get at. work very well with the quiet cores in them also. i believe they come with 3 or 4 cores. I believe Brock Lyons ran a leo last year.

I dynoed it on my yfz against some others and they were all real close. the only other downfall of the Leo vince is price. Its titanium so its spendy.

Yeah, I was thinking of using just a slip on with the HRC kit.

Possibly going full, if I find a buyer for the HRC header.

I don't have a 450r at the moment. Picking one up in the next month though before the dealer sells out of the 07's.

I want to have a unique can look at least and I don't see those very often.
